Computer science is the study of problems, problem-solving, and the solutions that come out of the problem-solving process. Given a problem, a computer scientist’s goal is to develop an algorithm, a step-by-step list of instructions for solving any instance of the problem that might arise. Algorithms are finite processes that if followed will solve the problem. Algorithms are solutions. -Miller and Ranum 2011

Anyone can teach CS First! Teachers, parents, and librarians alike have used CS First. No computer science experience needed. Instructional videos guide students through each activity. CS First projects involve block-based coding using Scratch.
The CS First kit includes lesson plans and solution sheets for the teacher, as well as fun passports and stickers for the students. Choose one of eight themes: Art, Music, Sports, Game Design, Fashion, or Storytelling.

CS Unplugged is based on a constructivist approach: students are given challenges based on a few simple rules, and in the process of solving those challenges they uncover powerful ideas on their own. We developed CS Unplugged to empower students to understand the great ideas that computer science covers, without having to become expert programmers first.
